Fitz came home today. It was a rather tame meeting of the canine minds. Phew.
The Sweetness of Dogs
by Mary Oliver
What do you say, Percy? I am thinking
of sitting on the sand to watch
The moon rise. Full tonight.
So we go.
and the moon rises, so beautiful it
Makes me shudder, makes me think about
Time and space, makes me take
Measure of myself; one iota
Pondering heaven. Thus we sit,
I thinking how grateful I am for the moon’s
perfect beauty and also, oh! How rich
it is to love the world. Percy, meanwhile,
leans against me and gazes up into
my face. As though I were
his perfect moon.
